| Additional Information: | The Hope Lutheran Church is a single-story Contemporary building constructed in 1974. The sanctuary has an asymmetrical gabled roof and an irregular footprint. A concrete bell tower with a metal cross rises from the ground on the south side of the building. The eaves extend to shelter the driveway which accesses the main (southwest) entrance. The exterior is clad in vertical board siding. Exterior architectural details are confined to the stained glass windows on the northwest and southwest elevations. A glass breezeway connects the sanctuary to the single-story education wing to the nmth. The education wing has aT-footprint, a gabled roof, and double-hung and casement windows. It is clad in the same vertical board siding as the sanctuary. Hope Lutheran Church was originally organized as Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of Cottage Grove, Dane County, Wisconsin, in January of 1854. The present church building was constructed in 1974 after a fire destroyed the 1870 building. The new church was designed by Robett Torkelson of Madison. |
